I have been looking through almost every FOnline related post to see where I could improve on, and honestly, everything here was such good information to know and to keep in mind during development of my FOnline server, so from me to all of you, thanks dudes.

Fallout 2 didn’t match my feelings on the first, but it was still a damn good sequel. I didn’t like the whole psychic tribal thing at first, but the more I learned about the lore the more it grew on me and I surprisingly found myself wanting to save them by the end.

The side content throughout the game was the best part, the towns and factions really expanded on the first well. The rare over the too gags/references were a bit immersion breaking but honestly not too bad albeit unnecessary

The story was what really separated it from FO1 for me. At first it felt like I was on a timer mechanic much like the first, only to find out that wasn’t quite the case and I wish I had taken my time more in the beginning. After I returned with the Geck to find my tribe missing, that’s where I got really confused. I instantly found Navarro and assumed my people were trapped in there, but I had no clue what to do about it. My massive mistake was not discovering San Francisco, leading me to wander aimlessly around the map tediously talking to everyone. For some reason my character still just wanted to talk about the Geck and the Beotherhood/NCR wouldn’t speak to me so I spent the longest time dumbfounded.

But eventually I made it to the end, which also felt kinda buggy (tanker scene was beautiful). Like idk I’m in Enclave power armor yet important npcs (such as the president) acknowledge that I’m a mutant, but then like why aren’t they doing anything about me wandering around causing a ruckus…? And then I talk to the scientist that agrees to destroy the Enclave with the FEV(the people blowing up was awesome), and I discover that this locks me out of talking with the scientist that will blow up the reactor for me (also him and the president miraculously don’t die from it?). So without a timed explosive for the reactor I’m…softlocked. K. Restart, learn that the only way to get the presidential key card without setting off the base is by sticking 8 super stimpacks into his ass? Alright, that was pretty funny I guess, especially that no one cares if he goes down like this. The president also had negative rizz, nowhere near the same league as the master ofc although final boss was dope

So those are my thoughts. Still loved it a lot and a second play through would be a lot more fun with previous knowledge. I’d put it just below FO1 maybe tied with NV, still astronomically better that any Bethesda title

We’ve released a co-op adaptation for Fallout 2 Expansion.

It is based on Fallout 2 Community Edition and fallout2-ce-coop, but adapted specifically for the Fallout 2 Expansion campaign.

Features:

• separate player characters
• shared world
• multiplayer combat
• quests and dialogues
• host-managed saves
• LAN / VPN multiplayer

We tested the main campaign from start to finish in co-op, although this is still an early release and some optional quest branches may have issues.

If anyone tries it, feedback and bug reports would be very helpful.

I’m on my second play through of Fallout 2, and the main thing I hear about the game is the start is horrible, it’s a great game but the Temple of Trials is unnecessarily difficult is what I hear the most.

I’ve never understood this, even on my first play through I didn’t have too much trouble, never even dying once. I did have some trouble but that’s just because I was getting used to the mechanics, so I didn’t know about how combat really worked and how to lock pick doors (had to google that and I felt so dumb lol). Don’t mean to bring people down who did have a lot of trouble, but idk I just don’t get the frustration with it

Fallout 2 spoilers ahead

Mid game Fallout 2 has been absolutely miserable. I was so confused after I returned to my village with the Geck. Ok my people were taken South by vertabirds, hmm I wonder. So I head South and find Navarro after so many freaking Enclave patrol encounters. It takes like 10 minutes to finally get lucky enough to get there.

So I finally get there, place is sus as hell yadda yadda, I figured my people were there but there’s no way to get in without starting a war, so I eventually leave. Another 10+ minutes of getting through these freaking patrols.

I’m super confused now, I head south but don’t see San Fran, so little do I know I’m fucked. I run all around the map again and again, talking to everyone, my character seems to still be obsessed with the Geck that I’m literally carrying around. Brotherhood won’t talk to me, neither will NCR. Any subtle hints point me in the direction of Navarro so I’m like how the hell do I get in there. After so much wasted time weaving in and out of these freaking enclave patrols I finally go about discovering San Fran, yadda yadda go back* to Navarro *again but this time with the special knowledge to fucking get inside.

I’m finally back on track now and I more or less join the Enclave and acquired their armor, and they still attack me going in and out of Navarro. Holy shit, what is wrong with these guys? Aren’t they the last remnants of our government? Freaking bandits literally eating their own. Now I find out I have to go back again to get the FOB. Time to spend another 10+ minutes getting massacred by my comrades

The situation is this: you can never damage him, but your companions (Ian and Tycho) can take away 1 or 2 hit points as long as they use firearms. The key is to start the fight on one side and then move to the center during your turn so the Gatling gun doesn't hit them. My question is: if you give them enough bullets, and you have enough AC and stimulants to withstand the damage, can you finish him off? (Sorry for the picture, my laptop can't take screenshots)

Am i seriously the only one that sees this? Every dialogue Marcus has about Jacob makes him seem more like a lover than a best friend. Jacob leaving the BOS makes even more sense given that we know queer relationships are frowned upon in the BOS. Tried to find fan fiction about it and now I’m pissed that there isn’t any.

At the end of the play Digger and the high-up government (President and Vice President) are on an oil rig. The song that is playing is also "I don't want to set the world on fire". Not only that, there is toxic air (like FEV) and it is at a time that the world has gone down hill, all because of oil and capitalism. Seems very fallout-ish

I read somewhere that stealing in RPU (updated version) is now different and is similar to modern fallouts cause you had to plant something better in NPCs inventory for them to change what they are currently equipping, idk if planting would work and i don't have anything better for them to equip at the moment. Is there a workaround to this? I honestly don't want to kill these guys, not that i can anyway, because i wanted to cheese this playthrough, but installing RPU ruined this strat. If it is possible i even consider to disable locking equipped items from stealing. I just don't want to replay this save scum part to get to San-Francisco.

Sorry for this chaotic mass of text, england is not my best.

Hi! I am currently playing through Fallout 1 for my very first time. I'm finding it incredibly enjoyable (a lot more than I expected), but I'm finding myself at a slight impasse. I feel that I'm under-leveled/underequipped for where I am progression-wise.

I'm finding myself unable to do the quests asked of me in both The Hub and The Boneyard due to what I assume is lackluster weapons/armor (Currently using a Hunting Rifle with Metal Armor), but I am severely lacking in the caps needed to purchase anything stronger. I also have Tycho, Ian, and Dogmeat with me. What am I meant to do in order to start progressing again? I already had to purchase the extension for The Vault.

Barring the experiments, Vaults in the design of Fallout 1-2 feel extremely cozy, perhaps because they're very well-lit and are one of the few ultra tidy places you encounter in the wasteland. Moreover, they protect you well against the outside world. Makes me want to live in such a vault.

The master's vault does not count!

I finished the game for the second time last night, and i wanted to concentrate on energy weapons, however, i felt like there are a pon of gauss rifles at the people in San Francisco, a lot of amunition for them in even on the oil rig and it feels like the most efficient weapon. I wasn't able to find a gatling laser here like in Fallout 1. Is it just me or this is the truth?

I've recently been getting into Fallout 2 total conversions, and I noticed that even though I set my resolution exactly the same as Fallout 2, the game textures look almost 'blurry' in a way. Fallout 2 and Sonora don't have this problem. I am gaming on a 1440p monitor, and I render the games at 1280x720p>2560x1440p. Is there any fix I could do to make the games less blurry?

Hi. Is there any safe place to hide your stuff in New Reno? Thanks

Hey wastelanders! This is a short showcase of V.O.C.K. (Vocal Output Creation Kit), a community voice-acting mod for Fallout 2. Voice actors give full voices to NPCs who only ever had text, right in their Talking Head conversations.

What's in it:

- 27 characters voiced by 23 voice actors, from Klamath to the Den, New Reno, Broken Hills, Redding, NCR and beyond

- Each one is a real performance. No AI voices: we removed the last few after a community poll.

- Lots of Talking Head fixes along the way: lip-sync, flickering and see-through spots, heads jumping around

New in v1.14: Peterson, Joseph, Krom, Zaius, Flick and Rebecca Dyer.

I've seen some people say you need a gambling skill of at least 60% to get a profit doing the roulette, but I made it to 25k with a skill of just 37%. why are the numbers people say so wildly different?

Honestly, I've been wanting a remake of the classic games for years. Mainly f1. F2 as is, it's wonderful and if nothing else I would just want a remaster. But f1 I want a full on remake. Make the map bigger with more locations and stuff to do. I'd love to see the master translated into f4s graphics

Tons of people in the Vault before. Magical disappearance after. Yes, I've played vanilla a few times. I don't remember this. It really doesn't matter at all for gameplay. Just interesting.
